Too much skiing - not enough brewing

Post by brewnewb »

I'm ashamed to admit but so far in 2016 I've made one measley 2 gallon batch of Brew Demon Cider.

We've been skiing just about every weekend since the new year began. I thought I'd post a few pics from last weeks trip out west. I did combine skiing and brewing as my son and I toured the Coors Brewery in Golden CO.

This is not a problem...

Skiing is good. Breck is very nice. We like Keystone a lot also. Haven't been in a while, Utah is easier to get breadth of many areas.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

I would definitely give up a day of brewing for a weekend of snowboarding!
